Renaming projects
by Huib Laurens 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hello, Last year there where a lot of discussions about projects inside wikimedia that needed to be renamed. The last thing I can remember is that it wasn't possible at that time. However I would like to know if something changed since the last discussion? There are like 5 or 6 projects under discussion that /could/ be renamed, so the question remains: Is it possible? -- Kind regards, Huib Laurens WickedWay.nl

Status of more regular code deployments
by MZMcBride 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi. Is there a status update about more regular code deployments to Wikimedia wikis? I know it's been discussed endlessly, but I was under the impression that it was a real goal going forward. Is that still the case? MZMcBride

LiquidThreads - "drag to new location" does not work. Does it work for you?
by Thomas Gries 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

RE: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:LiquidThreads Let me talk about talk pages with Lqt. The function to "drag to new location" a LiquidThread is not working for me. Perhaps this is a browser issue ? I use Firefox current version 4.0.1 or Chrome now and then or IE 8.0 Is there anyone out here, for whom this function really works? Pls. can you then explain exactly, step-by-step, _/how/_ the function actually works.

by HW 31 May '11

31 May '11

Dear all, As of a member of Chinese Wikipedia community, we have submitted a bug https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29114 on requestion for adding LQT to Chinese Wikipedia. However, it seems that it is on hold. Due to a large amount of comment on Chinese Wikipedia Village Pump, we need it as soon as possible. When will it be enable? Or, need to wait for central action?

Tag extension problem
by Jeroen De Dauw 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hey, I have some tag extension in which one of the parameters is a SPARQL query. My code is constructing this query correctly (confirmed by var_dump'ing the relevant vars), but when I put the tag in a wiki page, several spaces are getting replaced by   which breaks the query. Is there a way to make the parser not do this? (The HTML returned by my tag extension function should be embedded as-is.) Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://www.bn2vs.com Don't panic. Don't be evil. --

Request for comment: New hooks: DeleteAccount and MergeAccountFromTo
by Thomas Gries 30 May '11

30 May '11

Status: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/AddNewAccount is currently the only Account-adminstration related hook which changes table user - as far as I can see. Problem (solved yesterday) OpenID needs to be informed when an account is deleted or merged, which currently UserMerge extension does. There are no core functions for - Deletion or - Merging of accounts. This is reason why I added in UserMerge (declared myself as the new maintainer for this, if nobody contests) two hooks - DeleteAccount - MergeAccountFromTo The two hooks are used in OpenID only, for the moment. I did not yet create corresponding new hook description pages on MediaWiki - because the hooks are currently not part of the core. As suggested some days ago by Ryan Lane - and I support his view - such hooks should - go/come via the core, and in consequence - via Auth. The two hooks should be implemented in core as abstract public function () or whatever is conformity to our standards (pls. let me know). If you choose other names, I will commit corresponding changes in OpenID and UserMerge. Looking forward to your feedback, Tom hooks come from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/89010 hooks are consumed in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/89014 P.S. The OpenID and UserMerge extensions run on MediaWiki trunk version with recent PHP 5.3.6. Who wants to test it (URL on request)

update languages/messages once per week?
by Ashar Voultoiz 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hello, The files in the languages/messages/ directory are quite big and currently altered every day. Yesterday, I had to bisect a bug and most of the delay was caused by fetching the languages files. I do not understand the purpose of this daily update, does it serves any specific purpose? I do not feel like we require up-to-date translations in trunk. I have a similar issue with not so much edited extensions for which the log is mostly i18n translations thus hiding the real code commits. That was just my Sunday morning 2 cents. -- Ashar Voultoiz

cruise control continued
by Ashar Voultoiz 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hello, On May 28th, I have updated CruiseControl to run the PHPUnit tests grouped together as "Database". The consequences are: - parser tests are run again (yeah!) - several "write" API tests are run again too - there are failures (oh no!!) The failures are split in two groups: - a good share is related to the Block system rewrite. - the rest is parser tests for the LabeledSectionTransclusion extension Please fix the code if you have any knowledge about this code. http://ci.tesla.usability.wikimedia.org/cruisecontrol/ -- Ashar Voultoiz
